Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Now [A]Jac[D]k was a sailor
who roamed on the town
And she [G]was [D]a damsel [A]who skipped
up and down
Said the dam[D]sel to Jack as
she passed him by
Would you care [G]for to pur[D]chase some
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye [A]roddy rye roddy [D]rye
Thought Jack to himself,
"Now what can this be?
But the [G]finest of [D]whiskey from
far Ger[A]many
Smuggled [D]up in a basket
and sold on the sly
And the [G]name that [D]it goes by is
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye [A]roddy rye roddy [D]rye"
Jack gave her a pound and he
thought nothing strange
Said she, [G]"Hold the bas[D]ket till
I [A]get you your change"
Jack [D]looked in the basket and
a baby did spy
Oh, Begor[G]rah, said Jack[D], this is
Quare [A]bungle [D]rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye [A]roddy rye roddy [D]rye
[G]Now [D]to [A]get[D] the child christened
was Jack's first intent
For to get [G]the child [D]christened,
to the parson [A]he went
Says the [D]parson to Jack,
"What will he go by?"
Begor[G]rah, says Jack[D], Call him
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye [A]roddy rye roddy [D]rye
Said the parson to Jack,
"That's a mighty queer name"
[G]Says Jack [D]to the parson,
"It's a queer way he [A]came
Smuggled up [D]in a basket
and sold on the sly
And the [G]name that he'll go [D]by is
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye [A]roddy rye roddy [D]rye
Now all you young sailors
who roam on the town
Be[G]ware of those [D]damsels
[A]who skip up and down
Take [D]a look in their basket
as they pass you by
[G]Or else [D]they may sell you some
Quare [A]bungle [D]rye roddy rye?
[A]Fol the [D]diddle [A]rye [D]rod[A]dy rye roddy rye[D]
